Abstract
A method for operating a machine (10) in the graphics industry using a computer (4), at least one job, which is processed on the machine (10), being storable in the computer (4). The method is distinguished in that the computer (4) includes a control device which determines the properties of the stored job; the control device sets up the machine (10) in accordance with the ascertained properties; and, to process the job, the control device computes necessary further data from the existing data and subsequently processes the job. Also a device for carrying out the method.
Claims27
A method for operating a graphics machine using a computer, comprising the steps of:
- storing data relating to at least one graphic job;
- operating the computer as a control device to setup the graphics machine, as a function of the data relating to the at least one graphic job;
- further operating the computer as the control device to determine properties of the at least one graphic job, as a function of the data relating to the at least one graphic job, for control of the graphics machine;
- and
- thereafter operating the computer as the control device to control and operate the graphics machine as a function of the determined properties, to process the at least one graphic job.
A computer system for operating a graphics machine, comprising:
- a computer coupled to the graphics machine;
- and
- a memory storing data relating to at least one graphic job, to be processed on the graphics machine;
- the computer being arranged and configured to:
- operate as a control device to setup the graphics machine, as a function of the data relating to the at least one graphic job;
- further operate as the control device to determine properties of the at least one graphic job, as a function of the data relating to the at least one graphic job, for control of the graphics machine;
- and
- thereafter operate as the control device to control and operate the graphics machine as a function of the determined properties, to process the at least one graphic job.
